[NTLUG:Discuss] Evil C++ (was Re: Evil GCC-2.96)

Richard said, quite politely, btw:

Lo, on Monday, June 18, Will Senn did write:

In a word, <snip>.

In point of fact, I am a full-time (sic)

-------------------------------------
Richard,
Well, I used to be a full-time (sic) and now I lead a bunch of
full-time script developers and db freaks.  Stop by if you have
flash installed to http://postfuture.com/. Or send yourself examples
of the real thing by going to http://postfuture.com/registration/.
I only wish my life were so simple that I had the leisure to choose
to use a single language :) No joy!  Our system is SQL/VBScript/-
ASP/Perl/Flash/ and whatever else could be used to develop a solution by
Friday this week!

All,

Richard's point has plenty of merit, C++ is a bit unwieldy for the
casual developer and has a huge overhead wrt management(devwise)
so where are all the pro-schemers? Anybody on the list know of some
good applications of scheme in linux? I mean, I use perl or python
(and c) for most tasks in linux, what can I accomplish with scheme
that I cannot or perhaps could(with way more effort) in perl/python/c?
